Chapter 1327: Chapter 564: The Turbulent Storms End (2)

"Not bad." Qin Ming nodded. In fact, he was studying a special cultivation technique that touched upon the Forbidden Domain, able to absorb various surrounding spirit essences and divine materials.

Therefore, when Bai Meng neared him, it felt as though facing an abyss.

Qin Ming immediately adjusted himself to return to an ethereal, immortal-like state.

They passed through the tranquil bamboo forest and reached the back mountain, where they saw the old man lying on the sickbed.

Yu Gen Sheng’s complexion was pale. Besides missing two arms, other parts of his body were also incomplete, like his right calf, and his heart only had half left, with his sternum and scapula only partially remaining.

Fortunately, he was a Great Grandmaster; as long as he was alive, he could naturally regenerate as he nursed his injuries.

"Senior, you’re awake." Qin Ming stepped forward, guiding Heavenly Light into him and patched him up again using the golden thread with longevity characteristics.

"I... am fine." Yu Gen Sheng said weakly, revealing a comforting smile. Having fought fiercely, ensuring safety for Qin Ming, Tang Yushang, and others, he felt it was worth it.

Then, his brow slightly furrowed, asking, "Those students..."

Earlier, he was with a group of students from Shanhai Academy, protecting them as they left. Later, worried about Qin Ming, he entrusted them to Li Qingyun who was with them.

Qin Ming reassured him, "They’re all safe. They encountered a group of experts from the Immortal Road, and news came not long ago that they have reached Ye State."

"That’s good." Yu Gen Sheng sighed in relief.

Tang Yushang had also left her retreat, coming to the bamboo lodge to visit the Grandmaster who desperately protected them.

In the past two days, Da Tang had been studying the shackles within her body and discovered that it was not only a cage of bloodline but also contained mysterious energy beyond imagination.

This time, facing death, she actually experienced Nirvana once.

Tang Yushang believed that if utilized well, this would not be a shackle blocking her path but a mysterious source for the Great Nirvana, elevating her life’s level.

She spoke before the sickbed, "Senior, take good care of your injuries. After enduring this blood disaster, you survived against odds, perhaps you’ll reach the Ancestor Master Realm."

Yu Gen Sheng shook his head, "The Ancestor Master Gate is hard to break, the Sixth Realm—Mixed Element—is extremely challenging, too ethereal for many. Besides, in such a special large environment, I, a senile old man, won’t think much."

Tang Yushang comforted him, stating, "This harsh era will force the outstanding figures in various paths to expand their roads, possibly discovering special methods to break through the gate."

Afterward, Pei Shuyan also arrived. He could now walk on the ground without worrying about his arms falling off or his feet detaching from his body.

In the past two days, he’s been "experiencing disgrace," recovering at Shanhai Academy and occasionally interrogating the Holy Traveler.

"Senior, you’re finally awake." Jin Xiang also came. His true form was a Golden Sheep, having pulled carts in Kunling City for over two decades, cultivating his mind amidst worldly affairs.

At this moment, he transformed into human form, one of the horns on his head was broken, appearing in a robust middle-aged state, with a sense of maturity accumulated over years.

Yu Gen Sheng nodded, "Good child, your determination is indeed strong, always able to quietly temper yourself. You’re not far from becoming a Grandmaster."

Jin Xiang was an outstanding graduate representative from Shanhai Academy over twenty years ago. He was extraordinary, cultivating both the Newborn Road and Esoteric Path, daring to take roles of toil in the bustling world, comprehending the Heart Sutra.

He ignored the secular gaze, unaffected by fame and shame, possessing a rare mindset that few could match.

"Senior Brother Jin, congratulations." Qin Ming greeted him. Years ago, when he and Xiao Wu first entered Kunling City, it was Jin Xiang who led them to Shanhai Academy.

Jin Xiang responded with a smile, "You’re destined to surpass, expanding roads ahead of us. Junior Qin, we’ll wait for your guiding."

Pei Shuyan joked, "Brother Jin, you want Brother Qin to guide you to become immortal, right? Other checkpoints, given your solid method, shouldn’t be much of a problem."

Soon after, they bid farewell, allowing Yu Gen Sheng to rest peacefully.

However, as Old Yu had become a Great Grandmaster, having survived a near-death experience, many were bound to visit him upon waking.

Qin Ming and Tang Yushang went once more to interrogate the Holy Traveler. He felt enough had been extracted, as this person couldn’t provide much more value and should be eliminated, leaving him would be a threat.

Unfortunately, regarding the Traveler Civilization’s supreme heritage, it couldn’t be touched. Exploration caused the spiritual imprint of the youth with flaxen curls to break apart.

Qin Ming explored other areas, fortunately gaining some insight into the Traveler Civilization and obtaining fragments like various Dharma Forms, Flying Immortal Seal, and speed enhancement techniques.

He felt he had gained significantly; for instance, with the Flying Immortal Seal, having the Essential Scripture, it possessed the marvelous creation akin to the Inner World Opening Heaven Axe.

Qin Ming used Chaos Force to try to activate it, thinking he could roughly display this method.

"That guy is truly ruthless. He wandered everywhere and occasionally encountered Taoists from certain cultivation systems, asking the white-haired Grandmaster to assist in eliminating his opponent."

Indeed, wandering outside is quite dangerous.

The Taoist from the cultivation system was superior in cultivation to the Holy Traveler and still very young, just over thirty.

In the end, suppressed by the white-haired Grandmaster, he was killed by the Holy Traveler, and his Flying Immortal Seal and the purple glimmering flying sword made of pure strange gold became the enemy’s nourishment.

How tragic was this Taoist’s situation? His future path should have been boundless and glorious.

"His Taoist practice was a notch higher than the Holy Traveler’s." Qin Ming was quite shocked; Yewu World was too vast, having many unknown civilizations and Heavenly Pride.
